The First Tree Claim.

r. A. Hopper, few days since
proved up ON his timber culture claim
in this county. MIR. Hopper came here
eight years since, and his is the first
tree claim that has been proved up in
Firhey county, as it takes eight
years to make final proof. Mr.. Hop
per is one of tho pioneers of Finney
county, coming here as he did, when
this bounty was inhabited only by buff
falos and Indians, with but few settlers
here and there, enduring the hardships
aud privations of pioneer life. Mr..
Hopper is one Of the men who had faith
inthe country's future prominence and
value, and by sticking to it, he has been
greatly benefited. 1t might be per-
mlssible here to add that Mr.. Hopper
says that this is the most disagreeable
season that he has experienced in the
country. All climates have their disa-
greeable features and seasons, and this,
he states, is the most unfavorable sea-
son he has experienced-more wind,
more sand, more heat 1t is also the
most unfavorable season over nearly
the whole country that is remembered

Daniel Webster on Religion.

On the 18th of November, 1913,
Daniel Webster delivered an address IN
the supreme court of Massachusetts, on
the death of Chief Justice Mason.
The following beautiful and impressive
passages are among his closing remarks:
Nothing of character is really per-
manent but virtue and personal worth.
These remain. Whatever of excellence
is wrought in the soul belongs to both
worlds. Real goodness does not attach
itself merely tothls life; it points to an
other world. Political or professional
reputation cannot last forever; but a
conscience VOID of offense before God
and man is an Inheritance for eternity.
Religion, therefore, is necessary and
indispensable element in any great hu-
man character. There is no living
without it. Religion is the tie that
connects man with his Creator, and
holds him to his throne. IF that tie be
sundered, all broken, he floats away, a
worthless atom in the universe; it's
proper attraction all gone, its destiny
thwarted, and its whole future nothing
but darkness, desolatlon and death.
A man with no sense Of religious duty,
is he whom the scriptures describe in
tears and terrific language, as living
without God in the world Such a
man is out of the proper being, out of
the circle of all his duties, out of the
circle of all of his happiness, and away,
far, far away, from the purpose Of his
creation.

THE SCIENCE OF BOOMING.

Marsh Murdoch gives up the secret
of Wichita success, as follows: We
organized. We held almost nightly
meetings, and among the first things
we agreed was to stand together and
stick by each other through thick and
thin.
We advertised by hundreds of thou
sands of circulars. We set forth all
our advantages in such manner that
Strangers who were led by our circulars
to give us call were not deceived, but
on the contrary, agreed that we'd not
put it as strong as we might. Every
town in the east of any notoriety was
not only served with our circulars, but
our newspapers.
And the newspaper advertising did
double duty. Our people made it
rule to advertise in our local papers,
and ask all their friends to advertise.
The people subscribed for large
number of copies loaded with local ad-
ver5isins and full of accounts of our
prospects and great advantages, and we
found by conversing with parties who
finally came here prospecting that the
full advertising columns Of papers which
they saw did more than all else to i'm
press them with the growth and impor-
lance of the place.
We found that we could not ovcrdo
this thing-that the more we paid out
for these purposes, the more we're our
profits. Every new conner was a Gus
toner to most of our stores, and while
their advertising paid to them rich re-
turns, it served the double purpose to
impress the eastern man, who had an
eye to business with the fact that Wich-
tia was rising town.

He is Now a Prohibitionist.
From the Garden City Herald.

| The following from St. Louis ex-
change, while it may seem somewhat
facetious, and undoubtedly contains
more truth than poetry 1t is no Sc
cret that many who are now numbered
among. our strongest temperance adj
yocates were once among those who
sneered at and denounced the prohibi-
ton law. Possibly the secret of some
conversions is contained in this expla-
nation:
II bought some whisky in Newton,
Kansas last week, and now [ will for
ever be firm believer in prohibition,
said Walter II. Bliss, a Chicago sales
man, to a crowd of admiring friends at
the Laclede. II had been down
through Wichita, Dodge City and Gar
den City, where it is as easy to get
good liquor or beer as it is in st. Louis;
provided you pay two prices, and l ar
rived in Newton late in the evening as
tired as dog. [ went to my hack
driver, who has always kept me sup
piled with good quantity Of the stuff,
and told him 1 waited pint. He
gave me to understand that he was
closely watched just then, but advised
me to 60 to a certain chiropodist and
buy bottle of his famous corn cure.
The physician of callous toes asked me
great many questions, the most i'm
portant of which was whether | could
give up 50. I answered satisfactorily,
and he gave me pint of his corn MKT
ure. | took it to the hotel and divided
it with friend. Well we both thought
we would die. 1 got SO sick thought
of every sin l ever committed. | even
remembered of, stealing watermelons
thirty years ago, and | could see the
ghost of the bull dog that chased me
out of the patch. My friend was even
worse. He had to smash over two or
three chairs before he was convinced
they were not alive. The landlord de-
manded $40 for damages next morning.
We would have given him $50 if he
had asked it. We were too weak to
dispute the point. Since then 1 hate
the smell of whisky. That is the rea
son I am now prohibitionist. [ firmly
believe that Kansas whisky will cure
the worst inebrlate that ever lived. -

Impure Water on the Farm.

Farmers and their families, of all
persons, should be able to drink pure
water. And yet it is feared that few
do so. To illustrate: A few days ago
pupil brought me a sample of well
water to examine and report upon. In
color it resembled barnyard water so
closely that l told him that | thought
such was his sample. but he replied
that it was the water in use at his
home. My analysis showed that it
was loaded with the barnyard teachings.
[ have known rats, cats and toads to be
removed from wells from which fami-
ly had all the while been drawing their
drinking water, and physicians well
know that typhoid fever, disease
propagated through impure water, is
common in most country districts
where the water is drawn from wells;
and DR.. Parkes, an eminent English
sanitarian, adds to the list dyspepsia,
diarrhea, dysentery, malarious fevers,
cholera, yellow fever, and other zymot-
ic diseases as often due to impure
drinking water. Pure water is needed,
because of the pure body 20 per cent
is water, pure and simple. It is not
only constitutional portioal portion Of
the body to SO large an extent but is
also the solvent carrier of the system.
Existing in the body to SO large an
amount, it is evident that to maintain
a state Of health, the water we drink
should be pure.

A FOOlhardy Proceeding.
From the Chicago journal.

IHOM Tue SulCdSO 0OuILdl
"Have you ever noticed, asked the
engineer, ''at railroad crossing, how
people will rush across the track just
ahead of the engine, and then stand on
the other side and watch the train go
by. It's a mighty curious thing, ev-
erybody does it, though, men, women
and children. Sometimes whole fam
lily will tear madly rcross the track as
though their existence depended on
getting over ahead of the train, and
then all turn round and stare at the
train as it shoots past. Now, it's the
easiest thing in the world to get your
foot caught between the ties or loose
boards on crossing, and the majority
of people killed by the cars are run
over while attempting to cross the track
ahead of train. I can't begin to un-
derstand why people with any sense at
all continue to do this, but they do"
And with melancholy shake Of his
head the engineer climbed into his cab.

The part of his letter which is Of SPECIAL

But on the other hand, if farmers
will only clear their wheat land of all
refuse by moving and raking. and har-
row and drill without stirring up, then
but little moisture will be required to
grow the wheat plants; and if dry, as
many are claiming, the wheat will be
made by the time other crops begin to
suffer. Therefore, if dry season is
to be our lot, we would have some
wheat against nothing" a s,
